DIY Lawn Twister Bring this childhood favorite game outdoors with spray paint and a circular template you can cut from cardboard! You can make the “board” as big as you like, from the traditional six rows of four colors each to a much larger grid if there are lots of players. And if you don’t have the Twister spinner, you can make cards to draw from two hats — one for the circle color and one for the body part.

Q. Are there any secrets to finding the right home at the right price with the right financing?

A. Lots of homebuyers waste time and money by not doing their homework before going home shopping. Here’s what you should do:

⧫ Analyze your NEEDS before you start looking. Make a list, including price range, size, general location, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. ⧫ Know what you WANT in your next home . List the features you’d like to have and rank them in terms of importance. If you have a spouse, set your priorities as a couple. ⧫ Understand how much home you can afford . Become familiar with your “payment -to-incom e ratio” and your “debt -to- income ratio,” two guides bankers and mortgage lenders use to determine how much loan you can afford.
